"Supernatural": Women don't tend to stick around long on this show, so our ears perked up when a little birdie told us that we'll soon see a "major recurring female character." Naomi will debut in Episode 807, "A Little Slice of Kevin.". She's very buttoned up and polished (and described as similar to Matt Damon's character in "The Good Shepherd"). All that poise and professionalism is just a farce, though -- she's got some serious issues. Oh, and FYI, that episode's mystery-of-the-week centers around a woman named Delta, who is a rocker who may have become a "witch-for-hire" when her band broke up. zap2it.com

We've seen a handful of female angel characters on "Supernatural," but none have lasted long -- until now. Zap2it has learned that Amanda Tapping is set to play Naomi, who executive producer Jeremy Carver describes as "cool and mysterious, part of a new group of angels we've never seen before." As we previously revealed, Naomi appears buttoned-up and polished; the casting notice likened her to Matt Damon's character in "The Good Shepherd" -- an early CIA operative who was willing to sacrifice everything for the greater good.

Yes, the angels are back in a big way this year. We can first expect to meet Naomi in Episode 807, tentatively titled "A Little Slice of Kevin," but fans can expect her to continue interacting with the Winchesters and Castiel throughout the season as her professional demeanor begins to unravel.

Tapping, a genre favorite, is best known for her work in the "Stargate" franchise as Samantha Carter, and she starred as Helen Magnus on "Sanctuary."

While talking to Misha Collins about his charitable scavenger hunt, he also confirmed a hunch we’d had about the last time Dean saw Cas. It
was, in fact, while Dean was exiting Purgatory. But there’s much more to it than that. “That very moment is a pivotal moment. I think Dean is confused about what happened at that moment and won’t actually find out what happened then until episode 7,” he reveals. “It’s going to take a while to see that moment play out.” Suffice to say the truth hurts — especially on this show.

But when Cas does return topside, look for him to be “reinvigorated with a sense of purpose,” says Collins. “He essentially feels like he has to do good in order to right the wrongs of his past. So he starts to collaborate with Sam and Dean for that reason — so that he can continue to try to make things right. He’s no longer paying penance, really, because it’s no longer an act of suffering for him. But he’s doing his best to right the wrongs of his past.” Doing so won’t be as easy as he
hopes, however. “He’s doing that in ways that help Sam and Dean and then, ultimately, it might also make life — as per usual with the Supernatural universe — complicated for Sam and Dean. At first, it seems like everything is hunky dory. But things quickly fall apart.”
